An inventor claims to have devised a closed cyclic engine which exchanges heat with cold and hot reservoirs at 25 and 350 ◦C, re

spectively, and produces 0.45 kJ of work for every kJ of heat extracted from the hot reservoir. Is this claim believable?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

T_{c} = 25^{o}C,  T_{h} = 350^{o}C

Work produced per kJ of heat extracted from hot reservoir = 0.45 kJ = Efficiency

If the device is Carnot cycle then its efficiency will be maximum and its value will be equal to [1 - (\frac{T_{c}}{T_{h}} )]

Using this relation we will calculate the efficiency as follows.

                 Efficiency = [1 - (\frac{T_{c}}{T_{h}} )]

                        = 1 - (\frac{25}{350})

                       = 0.928

Hence, it means that this type of device is possible and the claim is also believable.

In a reaction, chlorine accepts an electron to form Cl-. What is true about the atomic size of the chlorine ion?
Lynna [10]

Answer is: The atomic size of the chlorine ion is larger than the size of the chlorine atom.

Covalent radii of chlorine atom (Cl) is 0.099 nm and ionic radii of chlorine anion (Cl⁻) is 0.181 nm.

Difference between an chlorine atom and chlorine anion is the number of electrons that surround the nucleus.

Chlorine atom has 17 electrons and chlorine anion has 18 electrons.

Select all of the items that are true about a sample of water vapor at 101°C as it cools.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

D. Its temperature will remain 100 C until all the vapours condenses

Explanation:

Heat absorbed by a substance to change the state of matter is known as latent heat. This heat is utilized to break the bonds between atoms of the substance so that they can undergo phase change.

So, when water boils at 100 degree Celsius then temperature will remain constant unless and until all the water changes into vapor. As it is the latent heat that breaks the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms of water so that liquid state can change into gaseous state.

Since latent heat is a hidden heat, that is why, it does not get reflected and there is no change in temperature due to it.

Thus, we can conclude that it is true that temperature will remain at 100°C until all the vapor condenses for a sample of water vapor at 101°C as it cools.
